Course Description
The aim of the course is to impart knowledge of the
basic concepts of python programming and to help the students build
skills for solving
problems using it. It provides
the students with the basic features of the language
such as data types, operators, control structure, list,
dictionaries, sets, tuples,
string manipulation, functions, exception and file handling which are the common features of programming
languages. It also provides knowledge about object oriented paradigm, database
programming and building
graphical user interfaces. Students are more engaged in laboratory work to exaction
of programing experiments rather than theoretical concept.
2.
General Objectives of the Course
Following are the general objective
of this course:
· To make the student
